It was one of three ships of the modified <i>Black Swan</i> class. Germany put the <i>Actaeon</i> into service in January 1959 as <i>Hipper</i> for the <a href="/wiki/M%C3%BCrwik_Naval_School" title="Mürwik Naval School">Mürwik Naval Academy</a>, where the former sloop-of-war was used for cadet training alongside <a href="/wiki/Sister_ship" title="Sister ship">sister ship</a> <a href="/wiki/HMS_Flamingo_(L18)" title="HMS Flamingo (L18)"><i>Graf Spee</i></a>. In 1961, the vessel was placed under the command of training ships. </p><p>The armament of the ship was changed several times during her service in the Federal Navy. </p><p><i>Hipper</i> came with two twin 102 mm (4-inch) L/45 Mk XVI cannon at the front, which were successively replaced. In addition, she carried three individual 40 mm Bofors guns of an older model. Finally, <i>Hipper</i> and <i>Graf Spee</i> were given twin 40 mm Bofors guns on the bow one above the other and at the end of the widened deck structure two single guns of this type side by side, because they were installed on the new ships of the German Navy. </p><p>During the vessel's tenure she undertook a number of foreign voyages, often with her sister ship <i>Graf Spee</i>, several times to North American port cities, from <a href="/wiki/Victoria,_British_Columbia" title="Victoria, British Columbia">Victoria</a> (<a href="/wiki/British_Columbia" title="British Columbia">British Columbia</a>) in the north to <a href="/wiki/Valpara%C3%ADso" title="Valparaíso">Valparaiso</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cape_Horn" title="Cape Horn">Cape Horn</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific</a>.

There were no plans to convert the frigate into an air traffic control ship due to her age. She served as a pontoon in July 1964, then was sold on 25 October 1967 along with <i>Graf Spee</i> at <a href="/wiki/Hamburg" title="Hamburg">Hamburg</a> for <a href="/wiki/Ship_breaking" title="Ship breaking">scrapping</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Actaeon_(U07)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3924.html">"HMS Actaeon (U 07) of the Royal Navy - British Sloop of the Modified Black Swan class - Allied Warships of WWII - uboat.net"</a>. <i>uboat.net</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
